chance encounter

bank!

Abby Cohen is also aware of Linfeng’s future plans to construct a game-entertainment-sports all-round platform, covering the world, and becoming the first of all mankind's leisure and entertainment. However, the funds required for such a big plan will be calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars, and Lin Feng's own funds are far from guaranteed. If you choose to borrow from a bank and raise funds, all aspects will be too constrained. There are also many precedents in the industry, which are often very beautiful and creative, but in the end they died due to various reasons (mostly limited by funds).

Lin Feng's plan is undoubtedly more ambitious and better, but if it is constrained by others in the capital chain, the only result is that the plan is more flexible, and it is arbitrarily modified by investors. After all, businessmen value profits, and they value short-term benefits, and hope that the higher the profit, the better. However, Lin Feng hopes to give back to the society while earning amazing wealth. This is in line with the theories of many investors. What's more, Lin Feng also hates being controlled by others. Therefore, buying a bank and playing capital operation is the kingly way!

"Lin, based on the data and analysis collected by my team and I during this period of time, if you want to acquire Standard Bank of South Africa and get enough controlling rights, you need at least 41% of the equity to have the right to speak. But because you belong to Acquisitions, not cooperative mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, with the current stock price of US$12 for Standard Bank of South Africa, it will take at least 2-3 times the price to acquire 41%, which will require at least 12.2 billion US dollars. Obviously, we don’t have enough funds. Therefore, we don’t have enough funds. , I propose to start with Standard Chartered Bank. Bao Peili’s 41.5% of the shares and Qiu Deba’s 14.99% of the shares, then buy a little bit on the market, plus buy a little bit from the minority shareholders, you can own it. The controlling stake of Standard Chartered Bank. At that time, personal assets (through loans from Standard Chartered Bank) will be used to acquire Standard Bank of South Africa. At that time, Lin, you will own banks on two different continents, which can stabilize the world financial world." Abby Cohen Looking forward to her plan.

Lin Feng nodded. Abby Cohen's plan is perfect and attractive. The only prerequisite is to be able to acquire the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in the hands of Bao Peili and Qiu Deba. For Qiu Deba, Lin Feng has sent a letter of visit, and the other party is also very pleased to invite Lin Feng to Singapore. As for Bao Peili, she is too low-key, rarely sees outsiders, and is a widowed woman, Lin Feng really has no good way to get in touch. Fortunately, her daughter likes Avril Lavigne!

"Abby, then act according to your plan. You should contact Qiu Deba first, and at the same time you are ready to acquire related matters, as long as they agree, we will acquire at any time, and the acquisition must be completed before the outside world reacts!" Lin Feng Determined to say.

Although the shares of Standard Chartered Bank were transferred from Chinese to Chinese in this acquisition, it was extremely shocking for Standard Chartered Bank and for the United Kingdom. Prior to Bao Yugang and Qiu Deba’s acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank, it was when Standard Chartered Bank encountered the British Ryth Bank’s acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank. Bao Yugang and Qiu Deba rescued Standard Chartered Bank. They never took advantage of their equity. Have had any interference in the banking business. But when Lin Feng bought it, who can guarantee that Lin Feng, the world's richest man, this young man who always has all kinds of novel ideas, will not interfere in the banking business? In particular, the more important point is that when the Standard Chartered Bank was acquired, Bao Yugang was from Hong Kong, Qiu Deba was from Singapore, and both were inextricably linked to the United Kingdom, while Lin Feng was from China! Coming from socialist China, an authentic Chinese.

Will the UK allow such a time-honored bank to be acquired by Lin Feng?

Therefore, Lin Feng must acquire Standard Bank at a rapid pace. At that time, when Lin Feng holds the controlling rights, the outside world will know that it is too late. Although there will be difficulties from all walks of life, Lin Feng believes that with his current title of "Sir of the Order of the British Empire" and his friendly relationship with Prince William, it should not be a big problem to dispel the pressure of public opinion in the United Kingdom.

After discussing detailed matters with Abby Cohen, Lin Feng asked Avril Lavigne to go to the "Vineyard" in Shanghai. The restaurant that first attracted foreigners was not expensive, and it was relatively civilian, far less than some five-star restaurants. The hotel charges are high. Lin Feng came here because Bao Peili and his daughter like to come here for dinner. Lin Feng got the news that Bao Peili and her daughter happened to be here for dinner today.

After applying a little makeup to reduce the possibility of being recognized by diners, Lin Feng and Avril went to the "Vineyard" on Xinle Road. After Li Rui and others inquired in advance, Lin Feng and Avril Lavigne packed a private room, which happened to be next to Bao Peili.

"Lin, what do you want me to do today?" Avril was puzzled. She was resting at home, but was hurriedly called by Lin Feng, and she didn't say anything when she arrived, and the place she came was relatively popular. Given Lin Feng's current global popularity, it could not be easier to be recognized by people. What's more, she is also a global pop queen. In Shanghai, an international metropolis, she also has a large number of fans. Avril Lavigne really doesn't understand why Lin Feng is here!

"Haha, for a meal, the food here is pretty good!" Lin Feng didn't explain, and waved to the waiter to serve some of the special dishes.

With confusion, Avril Lavigne enjoys the food of the "vineyard". I have to admit that although the things here are cheap, they taste good. At least, it is much more authentic than the Chinese food that Avril Lavigne eats in Chinese restaurants such as New York and Los Angeles.

At this moment, Li Rui gave Lin Feng a secret signal. Bao Peili and her daughter at the next table were ready to come out after eating.

Lin Feng signaled, Li Rui opened the door.

"Avril Lavigne, what do you think of this place?" Lin Feng suddenly said loudly.

"The taste is not bad! It's quite authentic Chinese food!" Avril Lavigne closed her eyes and recollected, and said very seriously.

At this moment, with a sudden scream, a little girl about 14 years old rushed in and ran to Avril Lavigne, her face full of excitement.

"Avril Lavigne, are you Avril Lavigne?" The little girl looked at Avril Lavigne excitedly, she couldn't help herself.

Avril Lavigne was taken aback, then nodded helplessly. She wanted to have a quiet meal, but she didn't expect to be disturbed. But since she is a fan of her, she naturally can't neglect the fans, especially in Shanghai, where Lin Feng is still by her side, and she can't have the slightest prestige of a big star.

auzw.com"Hello, I am Avril Lavigne." Avril Lavigne reached out and shook hands with the little girl in a friendly manner.

"Mom, come in quickly, guess who I saw, Avril, Avril, it's Avril!" The little girl held Avril's hand and yelled outside excitedly.

A censure came from outside the door.

"You child, how many times have you told you, don't yell, how decent is to yell in public!" A woman dressed as a middle-aged woman walked in.

Bao Peili! This person is the goal of Lin Feng's trip, Bao Peili!

When Bao Peili came in and saw Lin Feng, she was also taken aback. After a few seconds, she nodded towards Lin Feng. Obviously he has recognized who Lin Feng is!

"Sorry, my daughter is too reckless. I hope to forgive me for any interruptions!" After Bao Peili bowed slightly, she took her daughter (Bao Xinyi) and walked out.

But Bao Xinyi, who was looking excited at the moment, refused to move at all.

"Mom, I haven't asked Avril Lavigne for an autographed photo!" Bao Xinyi said struggling, but her mother was beside her, and she had been scolded just now. Bao Xinyi is already more ladies than just now.

"You kid, don't you know that you have disturbed people's meals! You want to sign next time! Go, it's time to go home!" Bao Peili refused, pulling Bao Xinyi away.

Lin Feng saw that Bao Xinyi was unwilling to be reluctant to be accompanied by Lila to leave, and quickly stood up.

"This lady, since the daughter likes Avril so much, why not wait a few minutes for Avril to sign her and take a photo?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Really? Can you really sign and take a photo?" Bao Xinyi said without waiting for Bao Peili to speak.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded.

"Mom, I'll go home after a while. I go home so early every day. I'm afraid of being late today! It's hard to come across my idol!" Bao Xinyi held Bao Peili's hand and begged.

Bao Peili frowned, looked at Lin Feng, and sighed in her heart.

"Okay, but as soon as possible! I'm disturbing you, Mr. Lin! I'm disturbing you, Miss Avril." Bao Peili said sorry.

Lin Feng is not surprised that Bao Peili recognizes her identity. After all, she is the daughter of the "World Ship King". Although she is now in a "recluse" state, it would be incredible for the world's richest man, and the world's richest man who came out of China, to say that she didn't know her.

But Lin Feng just didn't know whether Bao Peili had guessed her intention. Judging from Bao Peili's insistence on leaving, I am afraid that she has already guessed that her trip is for her.

A few minutes later, Avril Lavigne had signed Bao Xinyi for a group photo.

"Okay, you're satisfied now, let's go!" Bao Peili pulled Bao Xinyi with a smile on her face and was about to leave.

"Mrs. Bao, please stay here!" Lin Feng reluctantly tried to persuade him.

When Bao Peili heard the words, she stopped immediately and let out a long sigh. As expected, Lin Feng came towards her. Although the environment of this "vineyard" is more elegant and unique, it is not considered a high-end place, and the dishes are not special enough. It is a bit inexplicable that Lin Feng, the world's richest man, came here. This is a public occasion. Lin Feng also brought Avril, the world's pop star, in case she was recognized, and it was troublesome and happened to be sitting next to her box, and her daughter Bao Xinyi saw Avril when she was out. And Lin Feng was able to call out his name accurately in the end, which happened to be too much. The only thing that can be explained is that Lin Feng came to her.

If it comes to her, there is only one purpose. But this matter may be more troublesome!
